Human beings rely on blind beliefs to have a large-scale cooperation. We all believe in something that is not there physically. We believe in God (some of us not all of course). God is nowhere to be seen, cannot be measured, cannot be heard, cannot be touched. We believe in our country. Yet, a country is merely a make belief concept, and exists only in maps. We believe in the company we work in. But the company does not exist other than on papers. Our collective belief that the company exists, make us feel we belong to it, and therefore we can together work towards a common goal - be it increasing the company's profits for employees' benefits, or prospering a nation, or mass producing products. Belief in the unseen is important and needed for humanity, unless when it starts to oppress others.
How's that for an intro? :D
